I heard a story on a background check being denied. This guys job took him out of the country for months at a time, he would pawn his handgun (for safekeeping) to the same shop and get it back when he was stateside. He had done this many times but was denied after his girlfriend 'forgot' to pay a traffic ticket she had gotten while he was away. No reason was given to him or the pawnshop, he ended up getting it back after appealing and paying the ticket.
Interesting, I can't see how a wife's traffic ticket could get you denied, let alone a girlfriend.
If she was driving a vehicle registered in his name, and it was a parking ticket in Denver. Well then, there you go.Quote:

It's comical to me that we have such a strong nanny state (for the children) yet no one has to meet any qualifications to have children.Quote:

Unless you are in China, the government there limits the number of children you are allowed to have.......
Hey, wait, maybe our government could do this too. This would limit the number of welfare babies and relieve the increasing burden on us tax paying citizens.
Uh....No thanks.Quote:

When you get a denial you will be (supposed to be) given a nice slip of paper with a transaction ID on it and a phone number to call. You call the number, talk to the "nice" people, and they send you a letter explaining your denial. You resolve whatever it is, go back to the same dealer, they run you again - and poof your a llama.
Does anyone doubt this isn't in our future?Quote:
